15 Minutes and Dinner

I lasted all of 15 min in the Mookie tonight, but was surprisingly not the gigli.

AKd, 3rd AK so far (yes, 3 AK in 15min), there's a raise to 4x the BB, I re-raise to 11x the BB... raiser thinks, requests time, and then re-raises. No way he has aces I think, and call.

Flop comes all unders, two diamonds. He pushes, I instacall. He flips over AQo. WTF? Turn comes Qc, flop comes crap, and I'm done. Well... um... I was only a 90% favourite, I was bound to lose. Fuck.

Anyway, in answer to Meanhappyguy's cookoff challenge, I present tonight's dinner:

First, assemble the necessary ingredients. Farm-fresh vegetables, tomatoes, herbs, etc....


Are totally not needed, so throw that out.


Instead, you need only these things:


1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, salt, and a pot of water to be boiled. Oh, and this:


That's right, it's the PRESIDENT'S Choice. You gonna argue with the President? Check out that gourmet pasta!


Salt (1 tsp) the water (6 cups) and boil. Add pasta.


Boil until al dente or however you like it. About 7min.


That's right, boil.


Drain


Add butter and milk


Add the totally real dehydrated cheese.


Stir until smooth and delicious-looking.


Oh, and of course you need a drink with this. I did this while boiling. Here are some fresh blueberries, red grapefruit, lime, and mint.


Here they are muddled.


Add rum and pour into a glass half full with crushed ice. I have a real old-school electric ice crusher, but I opted to do this with a wooden rolling pin because... that's how I roll. Booya.


Here's that glorious pasta with deluxe white cheddar again.


And the final presentation.


I know your mouth is watering. Okay Meanhappyguy, if that even IS your real name... BRING IT!
